Change Farm ID?

We finally rebuilt our SharePoint environment on a new server. Was quite easy and un-problematic. The only issue we have is with “Ontolica”.
First, the production license didn’t come over. I resolved that by tapping into the database myself and retrieve the binary version of the file. BUT, the license is tight to the farm ID. Since I created a brand new installion and farm, our new farm id
is different than the old one.

I called “SurfRay” and they said that they wouldn’t/couldn’t
L issue me a new license. Is there any way for me to change the farm ID of the new farm to the farm
ID of the old farm?

Hello,
I have a problem, that I no longer can access Central Administration Website, only the Sharepoint itself.
I was running installation of Sharepoint 2010 Server with administrative account ImTheAdmin, who is a Domain Admin in the domain on one of the Windows 2008 R2 member servers. Besides that, I made ImTheAdmin the primary administrator of the Sharepoint.
ImTheAdmin became the only user of this Sharepoint 2010 server after installation. I installed everything on one box with default installation settings. I used builtin SQL server, not Standard or Enterprise.
What then happened is:
Using ImTheAdmin account, I opened Central Administration Website, and it said, that I need to change the Farm Account, for the account for Farm was the default one (I think it was network service).
So I created a regular domain user MYDOMAIN\SharepointFarmAccount. The account name was too long to be as a Windows 2000 name, so it showed there without last 't', e.g. MYDOMAIN\SharepointFarmAccoun. I thought, Windows 2000 is long gone, so I didn't pay
much attention, I think everywhere the account SID is important. I don't know if that is the real problem with my failure later, but it might be one of the reasons.
I put MYDOMAIN\SharepointFarmAccount down in to the form of Central Administration Website, added the check mark, that it would react to password changes, and pre

SharePoint 2010, I am trying to change the Farm Account. I made the change to a new farm account under Central Admin > Security > Configure Service Accounts. The change seems to have gone through, however, when I delete the old user account that was
being used for the Farm Account and I try to backup sharepoint it fails. If I re-create the old farm account in Active Directory (don't change anything in Central Admin) I can backup again. The specific error I get from STSADM is "The specified user or domain
group cannot be found". I'm assuming that the old Farm Account still have something it's holding onto in SharePoint 2010 that the new farm account should have and doesn't.

Localization is the process of customizing your application to a particular language, culture or locale. Visual Studio provides support for localizing Windows Forms with much ease. In this article, we will see how to localize windows forms and give the user the ability to change to his preferred language at runtime. When you run a localized application, the appearance is determined by two culture values. The UICulture property is used to specify which resource files will be loaded for the form. The Culture property, on the other hand, determines how strings such as dates, numerals, and currency amounts are formatted.Let us see the steps required to create a localized form. You can then expand this example and adopt the same approach for the rest of the forms in your project

Scenario: If you create a table with a column of type nvarchar, populate it with some content and try to modify it using the WebMatrix editor, from nvarchar to ntext, it does not display any error message or warning that this is not possible. It silently saves and reverts the change, back to nvarchar. Wasted some hours on this issue as I thought my column was ntext, but in fact was still nvarchar.

Expected behavior: It should change to ntext, or if SQL CE doesn't support that, it should notify the user that no change was applied.

Is it possible to change the select, insert and update stored procedure of an SqlDataSource at run time. I don't mean to change the definition of the stored procedure, but I mean to change the assignment, i.e. To change the select stored procedure from "selectSP1" to "selectSP2" at run time. Is it possible?

In the first column header, text is displayed as "Hide Daily Columns", but I need the text to change as "Unhide Daily columns" when I click on it and when the text changes the columns under "daily" header (I have 3 columns under this header) present in the report shud be hidden and only weekly columns shud be visible. Any ideas please. I am new to SSRS and tried out many ways but didn't get it.

On the first page user defines atmost 7 column names to be displayed on the report. I'm saving these names in a Sql DB table 'Columns' with Column_Nm and Column_ID as Table columns.

On the second page I'm retrieving column_Nm from the table and displaying them on the page so that the user enters the data. This data is saved in another table 'Summary' with the Columns column1 through column7.

on the 3rd page I need to show a report of 'Summary' table.

How do I dynamically replace column1 through column7 names with that of 'Column_Nm' on the report?

For the 2008 Imagine Cup, students have been challenged to use technology to enable a sustainable environment. Finalists in the U.S. competition recently presented their solutions in Los Angeles, and MSDN Magazine was there to see the innovative ideas participants have come up with.

I surf the Net somewhat obsessively when I have spare time, and I often read various discussion forums such as Slashdot and Neowin. Now, the journalism at those sites isn't always the highest quality, and I have noticed a marked lack of perspective on the level of changes that have occurred in this industry.

Running a Web farm means managing session state across servers. Since session state can't be shared across a Web farm with Internet Information Services 5.0, a custom solution is required. One such solution using a tool called the session manager is described here. The article begins with a description of the SQL Server database used to store state information, the stored procedures used to update it, and the retrieval of session data. ASP code drives the session manager tool and the COM and COM+ components that run the stored procedures.
